A friend and I would always enjoy our alcohol, tobacco, & firearms day whenever the gun show came to town. Now we have to find something to blow up?

I have traditionally been opposed to silencers in a county as urban as Mecklenburg, where open spaces are limited, Bailey said in a statement. I suppose it never occurred to you that residents of your county hunt in other counties?

Even the Euroweenies allow suppressors. Only in America do we criminalize them.

And on the same line.... has he never thought that being a good neighbor means being quiet while shooting on those limited open spaces? I'm sure there is somewhere in the county to shoot.

Separately, I wanted to note:
In Europe, suppressors (they aren't silencers, and aren't silent) are very common. Use of one is considered to be "neighborly", as it reduces the noise footprint and doesn't disturb people so easily.
In Europe, they don't have as much wide-open space. So, it's much more difficult to hunt or site a shooting range in a location that is isolated from other people.
In the US, suppressors have a "gangster" stigma. But, they do reduce a genuine health hazard: damage to hearing.

Cool. What’s left of my hearing is grateful. I’ll have to get me one one of these days.

OSHA requires hearing protection, BATFE (for all practical purposes) forbids it. Your government at work.

You would think gun suppressors would be something the noise environmentalist would embrace.

We were looking at that particular item on my computer at the end of class once, and one of my female students remarked “I want one!”

Suppressors are heavily regulated by the federal government. People...have to apply to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and pass a background check...They...have to pay a federal tax payment of $200 and get approval from the county sheriff.I have never understood the stigma attached to suppressors or so-called silencers.
Hollywood has perpetuated the myth of "deadly silence", but if one has ever fired a 1911, for example, with a suppressor, the clanking and clanging of the action is louder than the "pthut" shown/heard in the movies, but you never hear that.

What in thee name of HELL, IS A
GUN SUPPRESSOR?Is that kinda like something that suppresses a gun? How does it work? Does it suppress it by keeping it at home? In a storage locker? Outta the hands of a user?
I have heard of SOUND suppressors, and a NOISE suppressors, and of course SILENCERS, but NEVER a GUN SUPPRESSOR.
What am I missing here?

Look up the bio on that Eurasian chick who portrayed Dr. No’s double agent. Truth is always stranger than fiction.
Too bad it’s half a century ago now. Not to mention for Ursula Andress. When I was in high school & saw her wearing towels in The Blue Max, I no longer regarded thirtysomething as middle aged.
